It sickens me the waste so un-tastfully displayed,
at a time where our country as a whole needs help today .
I have seen a beautiful home dozed down with everything left inside,
including a grand piano than antique furniture they didn't like .
It wasn't brand new and they didnt want to be bothered by the wait ,
so a wealthy man bought the house complete just to doze it away .
What fool would do such a thing when there was no need,
their would have been people there to take it away people with needs.
I have seen them take brand new items and throw them in the trash,
just because when they come back from a vacation they brought them back.
Cleaning out the truck or van never looking in the bags ,
oh they have money and I'm not messing with that .
Waste of the wealthy will come back to them in time ,
for money is just money often given to the unkind.
For people who loves and cares wont waste in such a way ,
they see that others get use out of their things they don't just throw them away .
Out of touch they are they move into their own little worlds ,
of caviar and brand new clothes and cars and boats for sure.
Yet we also see them dieing from drugs and so unhappy indeed ,
and this is the virus us poor folks call greed.

Well I just had to say it . For you never throw anything away for there are too many people in this world in need .Put it out and put a free sign on it and it will be gone faster than any city dumpster could ever be . Give it away before you throw it away make someones day brighter

Wow.
Fascinating write i love it.
Good luck in the contest -
My mum calls me the "worlds biggest pack rat". Finally, she said I had to shovel (literally) out my room. It took about two weeks, but I held a garage sale and I promised myself to price nothing over ten dollars. Before I knew it, I have almost 2 grand for college!! I hate rich people who binge buy. Great write.
Warmest,
Mylee
